The party’s statement continued: ‘The transformation of Alexandroupolis into a NATO base and our country’s participation in military conflicts from Ukraine to the Middle East make us part of the problem, exposing the population to grave dangers. The government is attempting to impose silence by criminalising criticism of militarism and the instrumentalisation of culture.’
The New Left demanded the immediate cessation of all persecution of Bazas and declared its solidarity with him. ‘We are fighting for the complete disengagement of Greece from the war’, the statement read. ‘Culture is a space for peace, not a stage for NATO propaganda.’
